Harvey Sydnor, co-owner of Premier Martial Arts Ches-terfield, located at 11001 Midlothian Turnpike, talks aboutmartial arts, self-defense and motivating his studentsbefore, during and after class.

Q: How did you get involved in martial arts?

Sydnor: My wife Amy and I started taking martial artsabout 18 years ago. When we first got married, we wantedsomething to do together and we saw the school one dayand said 'Hey, let's check this out' and walked in and theygot us involved. We took classes for awhile before we be-came new parents. Then we both dropped out, but mar-tial arts and the discipline was still in us and we wanted togo back. Two daughters later, we still wanted to go back.We finally got one of our daughters interested in it so thefamily rejoined the martial arts and it has been more of afamily venture from that point.

Q: Why pursue a business venture in the martial arts?

Sydnor: I still had a strong desire with the martial arts.I saw the changes that it was making in the kids' lives,and even in my own daughters' lives with the leaders theywere becoming.. The system that we were in didn't appealto me anymore because I didn't see enough real-worldscenarios in it. It was a lot of fancy jumps and kicks andI really second-guessed it if that was what I really wantedfor my daughters and my family. I really wanted themto be able to protect themselves. I was, at that time, asecond-degree black belt, and all of them had just becomeblack belts, as well. We were a complete black belt family.

Q: When did you open your business?

Sydnor: We opened [Premier Martial Arts] in June2010. Before then, I was an I.T. [Information Technol-ogy] director for a local company. I looked around atdifferent systems and found Premier Martial Arts, whichhad the Krav Maga, which is an Israeli-based self-defensesystem and also incorporated kick-boxing for the physi-cal fitness side. I knew another black belt who just turnedsecond-degree black belt. We both wanted our own schoolso Walt [Cardwell] and I decided to partner up and openPremier Martial Arts.

Q: What is the purpose of teaching real-world scenari-os?

Sydnor: We cover the different scenarios like chokeholds; people trying to grab their hair or grabbing themby the wrists or grabbing them from behind. Any of thosescenarios could be, for a kid, a bully at school or a kidnap-per. For adults, it could be somebody trying to mug themin a parking lot or a rapist. We teach from the kids all theway to the adults, the same defensive scenarios that can be

used by both.

Q: How does one know which class to sign up for?

Sydnor: We split all of our classes by age; that's oneway that we're different from other martial art systems.A lot of martial arts systems will split it by belt levels, butby us, we split it by age because adults don't want to workwith kids if they're sparring or grabbing with real life-scenarios. Also, our philosophy is that the lower belts in aclass can learn from the higher belts as well. It's not alwaysjust the instructor that has to teach, and that's wherewe've developed leadership roles in our classes, too.

With us, we don't want to be a belt factory. There are alot of systems out there that if you do your time and payyour price, you get a belt. We want to make sure you'resafe, first and foremost, and the belt is the second part. Ifyou don't perform well during a testing, we will fail youbecause we want to make sure you're safe when you leavehere as opposed to just taking your money and giving youa belt. For our younger students from 5- 8, we step themthrough the belt system slower that way it helps themdevelop mentally before they actually achieve their nextbelt level.

Q: Premier Martial Arts offers before- and after-school-

care?

Sydnor: In order for us to reach the kids in our com-munity, we might as well pick them up and bring themhere. It's a convenience for the parents too because by thetime the parents have picked them up, they've already hadtheir martial arts lesson for the day, and they've had itevery day, not just twice a week or something like that.

Q: What would you like to do next with Premier MartialArts?

Sydnor: My desire here is to reach out to the kids, andget more into the community as well as the schools andteach workshops. We have multiple workshops that weteach: Bully proof, ABC's of Success, and Kids' Safe. Allthese workshops we can teach at the schools and recre-ation centers.

Q: What have your students taught you?Sydnor: They teach me a lot every day, especially the

youngest ones because they say what they feel. If theydon't like something going on in the class, they will tellyou. We do have a set curriculum we go through, a 20-class rotation schedule, but we make it exciting. We'renot just going by the book, but make it exciting for them.

I just wanted topublicly thankWagstaff CircleVolunteer Fire forcoming to Mar-garetville Volun-teer Fire Depart-ment’s aid.

MEDIA GENERAL NEWS SERVICE

THE WORLD FROM MY VIEW:THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS

Cold feet happens at the altar

I must firstly give you abrief background. Abouta month ago as HurricaneIrene hit New York City, thewind went one directionwhile the rain hit upstateNew York. All this wateradded to an already satu-rated ground in the CatskillMountains that flooded thetiny village I grew up in.

In the town of Middle-town in Delaware County,334 structures were dam-aged. Eighty-six of thesewere in Margaretville. I usedto be a Volunteer Firefighterwith Margaretville’s FireDepartment and I wanted todo something for my home-town. So, two weeks ago, Ihad talked to MargaretvilleVolunteer Fire Department’sFire Chief Gene Rosa, askinghim what they needed sincethey were still cleaning up.He said right now what theyneeded the most was money.

With that in mind, I went

to my Fire Company, Wag-staff Circle Volunteer FireDepartment, Company 10,asking them if they wouldlike to help their northern"brothers" at the Margaret-ville Volunteer Fire Depart-ment. I was thankfully sur-prised when Wagstaff roseto the occasion with a $200donation! I personally knowthis money is had to comeby from our small VolunteerFire Department here inChesterfield. I just wantedto publicly thank WagstaffCircle Volunteer Fire forcoming to MargaretvilleVolunteer Fire Department’said. This shows what a trueglobal community we reallyare. So, thank You WagstaffCircle Company 10 for yetanother job well done,

Sincerely,Robert E. Halpern

Simply stunning: the rarity ofbigamy charges catches one’s eye inthe headline of a newspaper. A case ofcold feet usually happens at the altar,not in divorce court. There are a fewwho cannot wait until the ink on theirfiled divorce papers dries before leap-ing into the next relationship, but oneChesterfield man decided to forego thedivorce process altogether when he wedfour women over a span of 11 years.Now Isaac C. Custalow, Jr. of Chester-field County is facing felony chargesin three jurisdictions for the multiplemarriages, according to The RichmondTimes-Dispatch article published Mon-day, Oct. 10. The article stunninglyexplained that “he just left them whenthe marriage soured and didn’t botherdivorcing before marrying again.”Strange enough, the article stated thathe did legally divorce his first wife inthe late 1990s.

Strange indeed, in an era of GPStracking through social media andsmartphone applications, how Cust-alow could have duped the nextwife-to-be into a wedding. And it’sespecially suspect that a groom wouldeven consider saying ‘I do’ again whenhe was already indicted for the bigamycharge in Chesterfield, but he did. It’s

heart-breaking for the women – wife#2, #3, #4, and #5. The Jerry Springer-esque headlining act turns realisticallytragic since one of the women commit-ted suicide.

Custalow is to be sentenced inthe local Circuit Court at the end ofNovember before heading to trial inDecember for pending charges in Vir-ginia Beach and Henrico County. Onecan only speculate until the cows comehome on how this man was able to pulloff the multiple marriages for such alengthy period of time.

In other news, the final day toregister to vote for the Nov. 8, 2011election is Monday, Oct. 17. Some maybe disinterested in politics, but this is alocal decision. Instead of tuning out theupcoming local election, which directlyimpacts your daily life, go out and vote.Even if your supervisor or school boardmember seat is not being contested(or even if it is hotly contested), thereare other seats on the ballot that needyour civic-duty, ballot-casting vote todecide who will serve. For a full list ofcandidates running for local supervi-sors, school board members, Constitu-tional officers, Soil and Water Districtdirectors, and Virginia State Senatorsand Delegates, link online at www.midlothianexchange.com.

They're doing physical fitness every day;they're having mat chats every day, whichis part of our monthly focuses, so the kidsare really involved.

Q: What are mat chats and monthlyfocuses?

Sydnor: Each month, we have a differenttopic for the kids such as honesty, respect,and anger management; with our angermanagement focus, one of our stories wasabout Zuki the Turtle who was havingtrouble in school because he kept gettingmad all the time like if somebody bumpedhim or took his pencil or something likethat. An older turtle taught him that if hegot mad, pull himself into his shell andwait for a few seconds then come back out.The first time he got mad at school, Zukidid that, and when he came out he realizedhe wasn't as mad anymore and his teacherwas sitting there smiling at him. The morehe did that, his grades started getting bet-ter, he started focusing better in school, soit turned him around.

Q: You also teach children self-defense?Sydnor: We teach common sense before

self-defense, so, never just act out. Thinkabout the situation before you have to act.One of the workshops we do, green-yel-low-red light of safety, teaches you're in agreen light situation you don't have to doanything. If you're in your front yard atyour house, that's a green light. As soon asa car pulls up to the curb, you need to gointo a yellow light situation; you need to beaware of your surroundings and what's go-ing on. If a stranger gets out of the car andis walking to you, automatically you're in ared light situation, and you need to returnyourself to a green light. How do you dothat? They tell you, "Go back inside." So,we give them the different scenarios, sothey realize where they're at in a dangersituation, and always think about the situa-tion and not just act out to begin with.

Q: What age groups are there in theclasses?

Sydnor: We start at 5 years old. We haveevening classes that start at 5 through 7year olds because we class them by age,they're our Little Champions. Our kidsprogram is from 8- to 12- years- old, andour adults, we classify from 13 and above.

Q: What are some misconceptions foradults to understand about martial arts?

Sydnor: A lot of misconceptions arethat "I'm too old, I can't do this", which isentirely not true. We've had 70-year-oldladies in here training because everybodyneeds to know how to protect them-selves. One scenario is that you're walkingthrough the parking lot by yourself anda guy comes up and tries to mug you, areyou going to be able to defend yourself?Majority of the women say, 'no.'

So, if you're walking through the park-ing lot with young son or daughter, astranger comes up and tries to take them,can you defend your child? A lot say 'Oh,yeah, he's in trouble.' Well, what's the dif-ference? If you can defend one way, youcan defend the other way too. Not just toprotect your child, but protect yourself soyou can be there for your child, too. Ourphilosophy is "Eliminate the threat and gohome." That's your goal every day to gohome.

Q: That sounds like a great tee-shirt slo-gan "Eliminate the threat. Go Home."

Sydnor: Well, that's everybody's goal atthe end of the day.

for galleries or publishersor other businesses. He didthese for his own fun and en-joyment and for his family.”

The signed and numberedartwork, which is the first tobe released, is carefully repro-duced in limited quantitiesthrough hand-pulled lithog-raphy where the material isdestroyed upon completionof an edition, according tothe official Art of Dr. Seusswebsite. The Dr. Seuss Estate,publisher and printer alsocollaborate on Collaborator’sProof, which is also limitedto 155. CP’s are only madeavailable after an edition hassold out. “The [Dr. Seuss]Foundation and Mrs. Geiselgot together to make surewhen this piece was reprintedit was as close as possible tothe original to stay true tothe original art form,” Klumpexplained.

All the original paintingsremain in the Seuss House inLa Jolla, Calif., which Geisel[Dr. Seuss] purchased in1948, Schuffmann said. “Au-drey, his widow, will lives inthat house and the paintingsare still there and that’s wherethey’ll remain,” he said.

And one can almostpicture the artwork titled“Green Cat With Lights”,which is signed “Stroogo VonM”, hanging in the entry wayof the Geisel’s home. Theartwork is one of the newestreleases from the collection.“When he painted this par-ticular piece … the practicaljoke from that would bewhen people would cometo visit and notice it’s notsigned Dr. Seuss, they wouldsay, ‘Ted, who is Stroogo VonM?’ He would say, ‘This ismy Stroogo Von M’ to play ajoke, as in to see who wouldsay, ‘Oh, I love Stroogo VonM’ or ‘I’ve got five of themmyself.’ He was a practicaljoker in a number of waysand he always liked to pokegood-natured fun at peoplewho thought a little bit moreof themselves than maybethey out to,” Schuffmanshared.

Geisel was a success-ful illustrator before everpublishing his first book,Schuffmann said. “He[Geisel] started his careeras an ad man who received$25 for his very first editorialcartoon that was publishedin the Saturday Evening Postin 1928. He had definitelycome a long way from there.He was a successful ad manfor about 30 years from thatpoint forward,” he said.

Schuffmann noted that it’snearly 20 years past his deaththat Geisel is being recog-nized as a modern master inart. This weekend, a majorSeuss exhibit will be openingat the Museum of Science

and Industry in Chicagothat will focus on the art ofTheodore Seuss Geisel. “Youcan see a string of Seuss-ianstyle, yet, these were origi-nal paintings that were notnecessarily derived from hisbooks. The Secret Art of Dr.seuss is that primordial soupof ideas and his concepts oncanvas and from there, a lotof iconic imagery really camefrom,” he said.

PHOTO COURTESY DEB KURDTSVirginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (center, in white T-shirt) and his wife, Maureen, came out to act as honorary starters for the Richmond Road Runners Club races on Oct. 1 in Richmond.

Virginia's 'First Couple' supports kids' runBy JIM [email protected]

In their quest to motivateRichmond-area youngstersto enjoy running as part of ahealthy lifestyle, Deb Kurdts

and Bill Kelly are finding it helpfulto have friends in high places.

nobody in Virginia these dayshas more powerful connectionsthan Gov. Bob McDonnell.

So when the Richmond RoadRunners Club was finalizing

logistics for the Primrose Schoolof Midlothian Village 1-mile kidsrace and 1-mile Special Olympicsrace prior to its annual Capital10-miler Oct. 1 in Richmond, theclub smartly planned each eventto begin in front of the Governor’sMansion.

Gov. McDonnell and his wife,First Lady Maureen McDonnell,donned race T-shirts and had onlyto walk out their front door at 7:30a.m. to serve as honorary starters

for the kids race.Despite damp weather condi-

tions, the McDonnells graciouslyaltered their normal Saturdaymorning routine and agreed tostay long enough to kick off allthree races.

Along the way, Kurdts andKelly were able to pitch the FirstCouple for assistance in market-ing the kids race to public schoolsthroughout the Richmond metro-politan area.

“Our goal is to get kids moving,get them up off the couch andshow them there is life beyond thecomputer and video games,” saidKurdts, owner of Primrose Schoolof Midlothian Village and a long-time member of the RichmondRoad Runners Club.

They’ve got a lot of work todo in that regard. Kurdts said shehoped 300 to 400 children wouldparticipate in the 1-mile kids race,but only about 100 signed up.

That’s despite the fact that in hisrole as race director, Kelly reachedout to local schools, Boy Scoutsand Girl Scouts without muchresponse from those communitygroups.

“We need to find a better wayto promote the race and get buy-infrom elementary schools,” Kurdtssaid. “We’re a small business andwe have to do it within a budget.

Rapids claimstate tourneyberth...barelyBy JIM [email protected]

Two strokes out ofthe lead after thefirst round of the36-hole Central

Region golf tournament,Dawson Hobbs’ title hopeshad long vanished by thetime he stood over a 3-footputt for bogey on the 18thhole of Tuesday’s secondround at Stonehenge Golfand Country Club.

About 25 minutes afterthe James River seniorcaptain calmly holed out tofinish what initially lookedlike a disappointing 5-over77, Hobbs learned just howmuch had been riding onthat final putt.

Expected to seriouslychallenge for its first stateteam title since 2008,James River nearly failedto qualify for the statetournament altogether. Re-gional tournament officialschecked and re-checked thescores, then confirmed that

the Rapids had claimed sec-ond place by just one strokeover Mills Godwin.

Deep Run defended itsregional championshipwith a two-round total of610 that was 10 strokesbetter than James River.Both teams will competein the Group AAA tourna-ment Monday and Tuesdayat Laurel Hill Golf Club inLorton.

Godwin, which led DeepRun by one stroke andJames River by two afterthe first round, just barelymissed out on a ColonialDistrict sweep.

“We lost by one stroke toDeep Run [for the regionaltitle] my freshman year,so I know how it feels tobe on the losing end of it,”Hobbs said. “I’m just happyI didn’t blow our lead.”

For a midseasonnon-district game,Monday night’s fieldhockey showdown

between Cosby and ThomasDale had a distinctively“postseason” feel to it.

Both teams played with anintensity normally reservedfor championship games.Players moved themselvesand the ball at a freneticpace. Defense was so suf-focatingly tight, passes struckwith anything less than totalconviction were picked offwith ease.

That’s what happens whenyou match two proud pro-grams and require them toput their undefeated recordson the line.

So it seemed appropriatethat 60 minutes of impas-sioned, back-and-forth ac-tion wasn’t enough to decidea winner.

Despite playing in a 7-on-7 format designed to producemore scoring chances, theTitans and Knights were stilldeadlocked at 2 late in the15-minute overtime period.

Only a truly “golden goal”would break the tie -- andDale’s Kelsey Daughertydelivered. After beating herdefender with a nice move,Daugherty shoveled a shotpast Cosby goalkeeper ReganSpencer with 2:20 left to givethe Knights a 3-2 victory.

“It was a beautiful goal.I’m so proud of Kelsey,” saidRegan Flores, who scoredDale’s first goal less than fiveminutes into the game.

Daugherty'sOT goal liftsThomas Dalepast Cosby

Sitting on the Knights’bench with an ice pack onthe back of her neck, Floresgrimaced as she recalledthe painful flare-up of herlingering back injury late inthe first half.

But Flores managed aproud smile as she pointedout that she played through

the discomfort and nevercame out of the game.

“I’ve been having backproblems for a while, butin a game like this, you justhave to keep playing,” sheadded. “It made me want tokeep going until we got thewinning goal.”

Flores’ goal was enough

for Dale (11-0) to take a1-0 lead into halftime, butit didn’t take Cosby (10-1)long to produce the equal-izer in the second half.

After a foul deep in theKnights’ end of the field,Cosby senior Catherine Rog-

Agorgeous, sun-splashed Saturdayafternoon was a perfect backdropfor the festive atmosphere at Trin-ity Episcopal School, as members

of the Estes family participated in a cer-emony dedicating the school's sparkling newathletic facility prior to the Titans' annualHomecoming football game.

The Estes Athletic Center is named forW.W. and Gladys Estes and their children.

The ribbon cutting included Mary EstesSpeight, Edwin Estes, Ruth Estes Tanner,Carol Estes-Williams, Steve Hupp andBobby Speight.

Trinity headmaster Dr. Thomas Aycockand his wife, Kae, were also honored dur-ing a ribbon-cutting ceremony dedicatingthe school's renovated football stadium asAycock Stadium.

Trinity chaplain Brian Griffin deliveredthe invocation to open the ceremony, whichwas held before a packed house of fans andalumni who also came out to watch the Ti-tans take on Bishop Sullivan Catholic HighSchool in a football game to follow.

Completed in March 2011, the Estes Ath-letic Center has dramatically altered Trinity’scampus and enhanced the educationaland athletic experience of its students. The

45,000-square-foot building features a maingym and auxiliary gym, state-of-the-artstrength and fitness center, multiple lockerrooms and meeting rooms, alumni roomand bookstore. More than 300 individu-als have made gifts to support the center’sconstruction, joining the Estes family tomake this long awaited dream a reality forthe students, faculty, families, alumni andfriends of Trinity Episcopal School.

Aycock Stadium, completed in September2011, complements the Estes Athletic Centerand overlooks Trinity’s athletic complex.The stadium features a synthetic track,bleachers, press box and scoreboard fundedin part by Trinity parents, trustees, alumniand friends. The facility is named for Dr.and Mrs. Thomas G. Aycock and honors Dr.Aycock’s 22 years as Trinity’s headmaster,and the impact the Ay-cocks have made onthe Trinity community.

Just a stone’s throw from the James River,Trinity has an enrollment of 445 students.A co-educational school with grades eightthrough twelve, Trinity is the first school inthe Richmond area to offer the InternationalBaccalaureate Diploma Program.

“Trinity is a place where students can fol-low their dreams and discover their paths,”said Dr. Aycock. “We are thrilled with wherewe are in our school’s journey. The open-ing of the Estes Athletic Center represents amomentous step in Trinity’s history.”

Rogerson’s shot off a penaltycorner was deflected highinto the air and landed at thefeet of teammate MyrandaWaits, who scored to giveCosby a 2-1 advantage.

The visiting Knightsdidn’t quit and needed onlyabout two minutes to tie thegame again. Maddie Ken-drick’s crossing pass fromthe right wing deflected offSpencer’s leg pad and rolledacross the goal line with 3:44left.

That set up an overtimeRogerson described as “sur-vival of the fittest.”

Dale had a terrific op-portunity to win early in theextra period, but Spenceraggressively came out ofher goal to made a slidingsave and stuff the Knights’breakaway.

But just as Cosby haddominated regulation playwith an enormous advantagein penalty corners and shotson goal, Dale thoroughlycontrolled the flow of play in

overtime.The Knights’ ability to

move the ball quickly viathe dribble or the pass led toDaugherty’s game-winninggoal, which brought Dale’sbackups off the sidelinefor the type of boisterouscelebration rarely seen at aregular-season match.

“It was really intense,”Flores said. “It’s probably thebest game we’ve ever played.We came to win and we did,but Cosby played very well,too.”

Rogerson, one of the fewCosby players who’s beenon the varsity long enoughto remember losing to Dalein the regional playoffs, ac-knowledged the frustrationinvolved in adding to theTitans’ losing streak againstthe Knights.

“We’ve never beatenthem before and we thoughtthis was our year,” she said.“Hopefully we’ll play themagain and the result will bedifferent.”

erson alertly took advantageof a quick restart and caughtthe Dale defense on its heels.Rogerson dribbled into thecircle and beat one defenderbefore ripping a low shotpast Ainsley Parrish to makeit 1-1 with 21:24 left in thesecond half.

Less than a minute later,Cosby coach Rachel Meadcalled a timeout to calmand refocus her young team,which returned only threestarters from last year’s Do-minion District champion-ship squad.

“By playing games likethis, the younger players willknow what’s coming andwon’t be so nervous beforethe game,” Rogerson said. “Itwill help them in the longrun.”

The Titans responded bydominating the remainder ofregulation play. They finallytook their first lead with lessthan six minutes left when

As part of the RoadRunners Club’s mission tomake Richmond a runningcommunity, Kelly said clubmembers would gladlyspeak about the benefits ofrunning to students at anylocal school.

“The Road Run-ners would be happy todevelop training programsfor school-age kids,” Kellyadded. “We want to bringthe athlete out in childrenwho don’t consider them-selves athletes. We challengeschools to get their kids outthere.”

That’s where the FirstLady comes in. MaureenMcDonnell agreed to helpspread the word about theRoad Runners Club’s vari-ous kid-friendly events af-ter the club begins planningits 2012 race schedule.

“They really couldn’thave been more supportiveon what we’re trying todo,” Kelly added. “We werehappy to have them thereand I think they had fun.”

With injured runningback Nathaniel Settle pacingthe sideline like a caged tiger,the Blessed Sacrament Hu-guenot Knights slid JeromeRobinson into his slot andturned the senior transferloose for 219 yards and threescores in a 35-14 win overBrunswick Academy Friday.

The undermannedvisitors-the Vikings suited uponly 17 players-played theKnights tough for the firstquarter; trailing by 7-0 onTommy Savarie’s (56 yardson nine carries) nine-yardscore, before the pounding ofthe Knights’ large and experi-enced offensive line began totake its toll.

With one-third of thesecond quarter gone, BSHtook over on their 24 yard-line and moved deep intoVikings’ territory on a BrianClarke to Robbie Baxterstrike. The smallish wide-out(5-9, 152 pounds) broke atackle to add on 20 yards tothe 34-yard pass completion.Clarke wisely threw his firstdown pass away and thenhanded off to Robinson.

The Vikings got a goodgrip on the running back’sankle behind the line ofscrimmage, but Robinson,quickly becoming knownfor his strength as well as hisspeed, jerked the capturedfoot free, cut right, slashedthrough the perusing defend-ers, found the sideline andstreaked in from 27 yardsout. Justin Cary bangedthrough his second of fivesuccessful extra points andBSH led 14-0.

Blessed Sacrament’s de-fense continued to stifle theBrunswick offense and actu-ally backed-up the Vikingsafter a muffed center-snap ona Knight’s punt put the ballat mid-field. Forced to puntwith 2:16 left in the half, theVikings hoped to pin BSHdeep and get to the lockerroom down by only twoscores. An effective punt putthe Knights back on their 19yard-line. A first-down toss-sweep to Robinson saw thecompact back claim the rightedge behind Stephen Barhamand Greg Woody, cut hard tothe sideline and then just fliphis speed-switch. 81 yardslater he crossed the goal-line.

Blessed Sacrament tookthe second half kick-off andquickly put the game away.Baxter advance the kickoffto the 38, Savarie bulled upthe gut for eight and thenfive more, but a holding callset the Knights back. Noproblem.

Robinson hurdled overdefenders to get 13 yardsback and then Clarke floateda 46-yard pass to tight end,Ethan Sill, waiting at the 16.Robinson used TJ Dobruckyand Will Moore to getthrough the line of scrim-mage and then zigged andzagged down to the one-yardline. His efforts were re-warded with a 1-yard plungefor the Knights' fourth TD.
